Step-by-step instructions
- Start by beating together the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until everything is well combined, creating a luscious cheesecake base.
- In another bowl, combine the blueberries, strawberries, peaches, kiwis, and raspberries. This fruit mixture will add a refreshing burst to your roll-ups.
- Carefully stir the fruit mixture into the cheesecake base, folding gently to avoid squashing the fruit.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush the tortillas with melted butter on both sides.
- Sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon on each tortilla for a sweet kick.
- Place the tortillas in the skillet and cook until they’re golden on both sides, which should take a few minutes.
- Remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.
- Spread the cheesecake fruit mixture evenly onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and slice them into pinwheels.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy.
